The Seattle Seahawks host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lumen Field in Week Five of the 2025 NFL season on Sunday.
Both teams are playoff contenders in the NFC after winning three of their first four games.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5
2pts 10-11 general
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won their first two road games of the season and are worth backing to at least cover the handicap when they head to Seattle for an NFC battle between two 3-1 teams.
The Bucs' unbeaten start to the season ended with a 31-25 loss to Super Bowl champions Philadelphia last week but they finished strongly after being down by 24-3 in the first half.
A blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown proved too much to overcome but it was a fair effort considering their offensive injuries.
The Seahawks have won three in a row after being unfortunate to lose their Week One NFC West clash with the 49ers, but had to hold off the Cardinals to win by only a field goal last week after building a 20-6 lead.
Seattle used to have one of the most formidable home advantages in the NFL at Lumen Field, but they have won only two of their last nine home games while saving their best recent performances for the road.
The Bucs will be without running back Bucky Irving as well as wide receiver Mike Evans, but the Seahawks also have their share of injury issues, particularly on defence, and the visitors look worth siding with in receipt of the handicap points.
